CLCA2 - chloride channel accessory 2 Gene
Also Known as CACC; CACC3; CLCRG2; CaCC-3
Species: Homo sapiens
About CLCA2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 120 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in esophagus (RPKM 67.2), skin (RPKM 43.6) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the calcium-activated Chloride Channel regulator (CLCR) family of proteins. Members of this family regulate the transport of chloride across the plasma membrane. The encoded protein is autoproteolytically processed to generate N- and C- terminal fragments. Expression of this gene is upregulated by the tumor suppressor protein p53 in response to DNA damage. In breast Cancer, expression of this gene is downregulated and the encoded protein may inhibit migration and invasion while promoting mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition in Cancer cell lines.
